Two key phrases. Compound lifts and 4x4 cardio.

Compound lifts are weightlifting exercises that utilise several groups of muscle. Squats, deadlifts, bench pressing, pullups, rows and clean and press are examples of lifts that use a whole array of muscle. The more muscle you use and the higher intensity with which you use it in every workout, the more you expend energy later. The workout isn't at the gym, it's at home when you're resting.

4x4 cardio on treadmill:

10 minute warm-up

4 minutes at about 90% of your max pulse

3 minutes at 70% of your max pulse

4 min at 90%

3 min at 70%

4 min at 90%

3 min at 70%

4 min at 90%

10 minutes cool-down

The 4x4 takes about 45 minutes, and is proven to be the most effective cardio work-out available today, in addition to being a wicked fat burner. Even in cardio periods I'm careful with it because I accidentally shed off my fat reserves.

THIRD TIP:

Don't give in to ridiculous celebrity diets. Eat reasonable, cut bagels and candy for a while, and eat *normally*.

Cheers.

It's never a good idea to lose weight too quickly.

I had a hernia last year, quite a nasty one. I ended up not being able to do much for around 7 months (before the op it was painful, after the op I had to be careful). I put on so much weight.

The secret is to burn more calories than you consume. So eat a good healthy balanced diet, around 1500-1600 calories. (basically, don't starve yourself, as your body goes into FAMINE mode, and then your metabolism slows down, and you just end up feeling tired, grumpy all the time, but you don't loose any weight, if anything, any excess calories the body will try and store as FAT!)

Then crank up the exercise routine. Running or cycling are good options. Swimming another. Dancing, yet another. Anything that you keep a sustained heart rate over 130 bpm will burn off the calories. Walk more if you drive. So maybe walk to college instead of driving or catching the bus. Go for an evening walk. Take up a sport. Do NOT just sit around.

Aim for a 2lb reduction a week. Anything more is actually stressing your body.
